They Don't Know About Us (Neymar)

Chapter 14: Waffles

When I woke up, my stomach was growling with hunger. I got out of bed and put on my bunny slippers and brushed my teeth.

When I went into the kitchen, it was empty so Thiago was probably still sleeping.

I put a few waffles in the waffle toaster and then the doorbell rang.

I opened the door, and was surprised when I saw Oscar standing there.

"What do you want?" I coldly asked, not forgetting what happened.

"Can I come in please?" he asked.

"Sure" I opened the door further and lead him into the kitchen where we sat at the table.

"I wanted to apologise for my behavior the other night" he finally said.

"Let's hear it" I said getting comfortable.

This better be good.

"I didn't mean anything I said. I was just angry. And drunk, I guess. Tati, you've been my best friend for the last four years and I would never do anything to hurt you. Physically or mentally. And I am so sorry for the pain I caused you the last few days. It will never ever ever happen again"

Should I say something?

I'm speechless.

Why is he so sweet?

"Say something?" he desperately asked.

"What about your...'confession'?" I said remembering the other part of our argument.

"I meant every word! I always had a little crush on you. From the day I saw you at school for the first time, and the time Thiago brought his little sister to training for the first time. Until right now. Where you're standing right under my nose" he said, tears threatening to spill out of his eyes anytime.

I couldn't stand to see him like that.

So I stood up, crashed into him and gave him a huge hug.

"I've always loved you Oscar. But this is as far as it can go" I told him, tears rolling down my cheeks.

"I'm kinda with Neymar now" I added.

"You're what?" he asked stiffening up.

"Yeah. Please don't get upset".

He seemed to give it a little thought before he spoke.

"Okay. But if he dares try to hurt you, I will break every bone in his body" he threatened.

"Thanks Os".

"I love you Tati, always" he said.

I wasn't sure if he meant love love, or love as in best friend love. I hoped it was the second.

"I love you forever" I replied meaning every word.

"Always and forever my best friend you'll be" he said. I could literally feel him smiling against my hair.

"You smell something burning?" he asked.

"Oh shit!" I said breaking up the hug and running over to the waffle toaster.

"Oh shit that's hot!" I squealed trying to take it out.

"Here, lemme help you" Oscar said laughing at me and carefully took out the waffles.

"Are you coming to training later?" he asked.

"Not like I have a choice"

"Right, well I'll see you later, okay?"

"Aren't you staying for breakfast?"

"Nah, I gotta do a few things before training" he said and left.
